Line 7:
''Horndog'' is a [[Funny Animal]] [[Stoners Are Funny|Stoner]] comic created by [[Isaac Baranoff|Isaac M. Baranoff]] and published by [[Mystic Studios Productions]]. The main character, Bob, is a "canine tomcat", a literal personification of the term "horndog". Baranoff has described it as "[[All of the Other Reindeer|the most hated comic on the planet]]".
 
Most of the storylines focus on his attempts to acquire [[The Stoner|marijuana]], [[All Men Are Perverts|sex]] or [[Author Appeal|both]]. Storylines have focused variously on topics ranging from real-life based topics, including relationships, politics and racism, to more surreal subject matter, including [[EverythingsEverything's Deader With Zombies|Zombies]] and [[Alien Abduction]]. It also portrays a [[Beast Fable]] involving interracial romance, a theme that is explored with the same technique in the [[Spin -Off]] ''[[Here Wolf]]''.
 
Created in 2003, six issues (and an "Archives" compilation) have been produced to date, and in 2009, ''Horndog'' was the first underground comic to produce a webcomic spinoff. ''Horndog'' has been criticized for what some readers perceive as a [[Refuge in Vulgarity]], because of its high level of [[Cluster F -Bomb|profanity]] and (initially) [[Fan Service|nudity]] (which has been toned down over the years).
 
The comic's creator identifies the series as a "Funny Aminal" comic, instead of using the terms [[Funny Animal]] or [[Furry Fandom|Furry]]. Its fans are known as "[[Fan Community Nicknames|Horndogs]]".
Line 37:
* [[Born Unlucky]]: Freddy.
* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: Implied.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: Charlene uses a Sharkie marker.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Actually, the [[Fourth Wall]] broke Bob's nose.
* [[Caught Up in The Rapture]]: Discussed.
Line 45:
* [[Chew Bubblegum]]:
{{quote| '''Andrea Mouse:''' I'm here to kill lemmings and chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of gum.}}
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]
* [[Creator Thumbprint]]: Bob's love of [[The Stoner|marijuana]], [[Hip Hop]] and [[Punk Rock]] are directly adapted from the author's own interests. Libertarianism and atheism also applies.
* [[Crossover]]: With ''[[Here Wolf]]''.
Line 59:
* [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex]]
* [[Everybody Must Get Stoned]]: One strip portrays LSD use.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Deader With Zombies]]: ''Horndog'' was already a [[Funny Animal]] [[The Stoner|Stoner]] comic to begin with. Issue 2 added Zombies into the mix.
* [[Four -Fingered Hands]]: All characters.
* [[Granola Girl]]: Alpha is this coupled with [[Alpha Bitch]].
* [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Pretty much everyone.
* [[Hollywood Voodoo]]: Played for laughs; voodoo spells are actually [[Frank Zappa]] and [[Wu-Tang Clan|ODB]] lyrics.
* [[I'm Going to Hell For This]]: Tommy tells Bob that "You're going to hell for this" after a series of bizarre sexual encounters.
Line 75:
* [[The Merch]]: ''Horndog'' has a ''lot'' of it.
* [[Mundane Fantastic]]: ''Horndog'' has both social commentary and character-based material, as well as storylines featuring aliens and zombies.
* [[N -Word Privileges]]: Bob's use of ''nigga'' goes by without objection.
** Bob almost beat up a clerk because he thought the clerk called Charlene a ''nigger''. The clerk actually said ''niggler'' (which has [[I Thought It Meant|a quite different meaning]]). Even Charlene noticed it. Bob later noted that the similarity of the two words gave away some [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* [[The Pornomancer]]: Bob
Line 86:
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Has happened from time to time. The comic's former web host and the creator's personal life were usually a factor in this.
* [[Seinfeldian Conversation]]
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: Bob (whose personal preference is [[Hip Hop]] and [[Punk Rock]]) and other characters make fun of [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]] and Metalheads. In real life, creator Isaac M. Baranoff is actually a Metal fan.
* [[Shamgri La|Shangri-La]]: Is Heaven.
* [[Shout Out]]: The author loves these.
Line 103:
* [[Species Surname]]: Andrea Mouse.
* [[Sphere Eyes]]: All characters.
* [[Spin -Off]]: The main character in ''[[Here Wolf]]'' made its debut in this comic, then went on to star in his own series, with a different plotline involving an [[Interspecies Romance]] with a ''human'' female.
* [[Take That]]: Quite a few of these.
** Hot Topic is a reocurring one.
